Please note the relevant documentation of the accessory components.

This range of machines feature simple operation with a very wide range of functions.

• Various JOBs (i.e. welding tasks consisting of welding process, material type, wire diameter and

shielding gas type) have been pre-defined JOB-List.

• Simple JOB selection from a list of pre-defined JOBs (sticker on the machine).

• The required process parameters are calculated by the system depending on the operating point

specified (single-dial operation via wire speed rotary dial).

• Additional parameters can be modified as required in the configuration menu on the control or using

the PC300.NET welding parameter software.

In superPuls mode, the program toggles from main program (PA) to reduced main program (PB). This

function is used e.g. in thin sheet welding to accurately reduce the heat input or weld vertical-up welds

without weaving. superPuls in combination with EWM welding processes offers many possibilities.

Welding performance can be represented as average value (ex works) or solely as program A value. If

the average value display is activated the signal lights of the main (PA) and reduced main program (PB)

are illuminated simultaneously. The display variants can be changed using special parameter P19, see

5.6 MIG/MAG operating point The operating point (welding output) is specified using the principle of MIG/MAG one-dial operation, i.e.

the user need only specify the operating point by setting the required wire speed, for example, and the

digital system will calculate the optimum values for welding current and voltage (operating point).

The operating point setting can also be specified using the accessory components such as the remote

control, welding torch, etc.

As with pulse arc welding, it is important to make sure of a good welding current connection.

• Keep welding current cables as short as possible and ensure that cable cross-sections are adequate!

• Fully unroll welding current cables, torche hose packages and, if applicable, intermediate hose

packages. Avoid loops!

• Use welding torches, preferably water-cooled, that are suitable for the higher power range.

• Use welding wire with adequate copper coating when welding steel. The wire spool should have layer

spooling.

NOTE

Unstable arc!

Welding current cables that are not fully unrolled can cause faults in the arc (flickering).

• Fully unroll welding current cables, torch hose packages and, if applicable, intermediate

hose packages. Avoid loops!

5.12.2 MIG/MAG program sequence ("Program steps" mode) Certain materials, such as aluminium, require special functions in order to be able to weld them safely

and at high quality. The latched special operating mode is used here with the following programs:

• Start program PSTART (reduction of cool points at the start of the seam)

• Main program PA (continuous welding)

• Reduced main program PB (targeted heat reduction)

• End program PEND) (minimisation of end craters via targeted heat reduction)

The programs include the parameters wire speed (operating point), arc length correction, slope times,

program duration, etc.

Figure 5-14

In every JOB, separate settings can be made for the ignition program, reduced main program and end

program as to whether or not to alternate with the pulse process.

These properties are stored on the welding machine with the JOB. This means that in the factory settings,

the pulse process is active during the end program in all forceArc JOBs.
